'Frozen' soundtrack ices Beyonce again on Billboard album chart

LOS ANGELES Jan 15 (Reuters) - The soundtrack to the Walt
Disney Co. animated film "Frozen" topped the weekly Billboard
200 album chart on Wednesday for the second consecutive week,
again holding off Beyonce.

"Frozen" sold 86,000 copies last week, down from 165,000 the
previous week, edging R&B singer Beyonce's self-titled album,
which sold 79,000 copies last week, according to figures
compiled by Nielsen SoundScan.

Billboard said "Frozen" is the first soundtrack to claim the
top spot for consecutive weeks since "Dreamgirls" in 2007.

The soundtrack has been helped by the film's box office
popularity, Billboard said, citing sources. The film has grossed
$319 million at the domestic box office since its November
release.

Rapper Kid Ink's "My Own Lane" was the lone debut album to
enter the top 10 this week, placing at No. 3 with 50,000 in
sales.

Rapper Eminem dropped a spot to fourth as 36,000 copies of
his "Marshall Mathers LP2" were sold last week, while New
Zealand teen singer-songwriter Lorde's "Pure Heroine" held at
No. 5 with 33,000 in sales.
